In infants with CF, tests showed the device's accuracy matched standard methods of measuring sweat chloride without needing trained personnel.

Researchers in South Korea and the US have developed a way of acquiring human sweat for analysis that does not require physical activity.

Sweat contains biomarkers that can monitor various health conditions, from diabetes to genetic disorders. Sweat sampling, unlike blood collection, is preferred by users due to its painless nature.

However, to obtain sufficient nutrients or hormones from sweat for testing, intense physical activity was previously required to induce sweat. This method posed challenges for individuals with limited mobility.

In a study published in Biosensors and Bioelectronics, Dr Kim Joohee from the Bionics Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST, Director Oh Sangrok) and Professor John A. Rogers from Northwestern University collaborated to create a convenient sweat monitoring device that delivers drug stimulation through the skin without physical activity.

A new wireless, Band-Aid-like sensor developed at Northwestern University could revolutionize the way patients manage hydrocephalus
